Dining Overview

From exotic Asian fusion to fresh seafood from the Pacific Rim to international crowd pleasers, there is something to tempt every palate at The Westin Playa Bonita Panama.

Our six restaurants and three bars offer virtually any type of cuisine you can imagine, in a variety of settings. Stop by Pacifica for special themed dinners, watch chefs prepare your meal before your eyes at Oceanica’s live cooking stations, or enjoy an evening of cocktails and karaoke at Soleo. For an upscale dinner, Tierra y Fuego is sure to please with USDA certified angus beef. Our expansive terrace connects Tierra y Fuego, Soleo, and Asiana providing panoramic ocean views.

Our two pool bars—including a swim-up bar—let you order food and drinks straight to your chair, while indoor and outdoor seating provide captivating views of the ocean by day, and spectacular sunsets and starry skies at night.
